Myra and her father are lucky. They are some of the few refugees to make it to an alien refugee camp, after the destruction of Earth. There, they struggle to build a new life and reunite with Myra’s mother. Myra attends school, designed to teach her, and other displaced refugees from Earth, the mathematical language of this alien society.

At the refugee camp, Myra meets Ekon, and together, these “two Gadflys” question their new education, reluctant to embrace this new alien culture and abandon all identity as “People of Earth.” Together, they secretly begin their own school. One that teaches the history and culture of the peoples of Earth, one where it’s pupils and teachers are one in the same; refugees sharing their stories from their now ruined planet. Yet, their new “school,” might attract an unusual friend, and bring these two worlds, closer together.

A Crucial Stage

​sustainable theatre and climate change

Twelve years ago Al Gore released the world’s most successful documentary ever, “An Inconvenient Truth.” Since then, climate change discussions have moved from the fringe to the center of public consciousness as the pace of global warming has increased exponentially.

This short pre-show presentation looks at the current state of climate change and questions how theatre may play a role in overcoming the most challenging existential threat our species has ever faced.​Facilitated by GFTF Director and Climate Reality Project Leader Tom Burmester.
